S. 685 would shift authority within the Department of Justice for certain cases of internal misconduct. Some cases that are now handled by the Office of Personal Responsibility would instead be handled by the Office of the Inspector General. Using information from the department, CBO estimates that implementing S. 685 would not affect spending in any fiscal year because the bill would only shift responsibilities between offices. Any costs to the Office of the Inspector General would be offset by savings to the Office of Personal Responsibility.
